Truth be told, a movie like this should be pretty easy to make. Derailing an MGS plot is almost impossible considering the games are barely coherent themselves. A group of oddball enemies, a bunch of action sequences, a love interest, an absurd plot twist and a final battle against a mech involving a bazooka. Oh, and you have to have a cyber-ninja. Done deal, even Mr. Boll could pull this one off.

The only possible way I could see this movie being broken is if they play the "American action hero" card and have Snake run around waving the US flag while being overly patriotic. The "the world is a dick and everything is a conspiracy, no exceptions" rule is probably the only thing consistent about the MGS universe.

The "the world is a dick and everything is a conspiracy, no exceptions" rule is probably the only thing consistent about the MGS universe.

Metal Gear has never really been about that. But yeah, I get what you're saying.

...I would quote more but I agree with you about the whole American action hero thing. Realistically, this movie has more probability to be bad than anything else even with Kojima overseeing the project.

But I suppose is still too early to be like "the end is nigh" for now.

I kinda feel that the ingredients are there already for a flick of this, as Maxx pointed out. It will automatically lose a star for the same reason all other "game-based-movies" lose a star: you're not playing the role.
